alec, it does not help with chmod +w, I still get the same error. Thanks though.

Nothing wants to run through winex.

ehobax: I've not managed to get anything to run, much less install through winex on gentoo yet. Transgaming has a WineX 2.01 now with improved 2D speed.. and tests might suggest that a kernel with minimal stuff in it improves performance a lot.

*sobs* I can't get nothing from WineX, as I have this stupid error I can't figure out.

I use WineX 2.0 with Gentoo also.. what I did (I also did this with Slackware) was I used rpm2tgz for the .rpm bin of WineX and uncompressed the converted tgz.

Since then everything has worked relatively well. JK2 runs very nicely as with SoF2 (the demo anyway). I replaced the 2.0 library files (/usr/lib/transgaming/winex/lib/) with the CVS WineX libs (dlls?) and I can even run GTA3 (albeit full of bugs and slowly).

I have a pII 400, 256mb ram, etc.

Apparently later this week more changes will be made to the CVS and GTA3 should work better - I look forward to seeing what they'll be doing.. cha-ching. GTA3 requires DX8.1, so if they get GTA3 fully working I don't see why other DX8.1 games won't run...

The transgaming guys told me that it might be that I had a very secure kernel running, not allowing applications reallocations and that might cause my system not allowing me to run the windows executables.
